Budget battles between Congress and the Air Force are starting to affect Air National Guard retention, Lt. Gen. Bud Wyatt, ANG director, told Senate defense appropriators during an oversight hearing, May 23, 2012. Wyatt attributed the retention drop to the Air Force's proposed reduction of 5,100 Air Guardsmen in Fiscal 2013, along with 134 Guard aircraft.
